CZOLGOSZ IS GVILTy Jury a * Btiffalo Cont > icts Him of Murder in First Tbegree. Leon F. Czolgosz , the anarclilst as sassin of President McKinley , Tues day was found guilty of murder in the first degree , after one of the most rapid yet dignified trials in the history of jurisprudence. Despite the eminence of the prisoner's counsel it was appar ent .Tuesday when the alienists decided that Czolgcsz was sane that no de fense was possible , and consequently that any 'delay in the trial would be vain. In a period of eight hours and twenty-six minutes the assassin of President McKinley had been found guiltand Judge Truman C. White had announced that he would pass sen tence on Thursday afternoon. Remark able as the trial had been throughout for its dignity equally with its ab sence of delay , not the least engrossing feature of the day was the address to the jury made by Loren L. Lewis , counsel for the prisoner. The vener able jurist explained the necessity of a defense for the prisoner even though LEON CZOLGOSZ. his guilt could scarce be questioned , and made his address tne occasion for a criticism of lynch law , which , in all probability , will go down in the an nals of history as the most masterly vindication of the jury system and con demnation of mob violence ever ut tered. Prisoner Knows Chicago Anarchists. Superintendent of Police Bull was asked : "Were you present at headquarters when the prisoner was brought there on the night of the murder ? " "Yes. " "Were any threats made against fcim " "No. " "Tell us what Czolgosz said. " "He said he knew President McKin ley. He knew that he was shooting President McKinley when he fired. The reason he gave was that he believed that he was doing his duty. He said that on the day President McKinley spoke at the exposition grounds , the day previous to the assassination , he stood near the stand on the esplanade No favorable opportunity presented it self. self."He "He followed the president to Niag ara Falls and back to Buffalo again. He got in line while the reception was in progress , and when he reached the president fired the fatal shots. Czol gosz told me In detail the plans he alone had worked out so that there would be no slip in his arrangements. I asked him why he killed the presi dent , and he replied that he did so be cause it was his duty. " "Did he say he was an anarchist ? " "Yes. " "Did he say any more on the sub ject ? " asked the district attorney. "Yes. He said that he had made a study of the beliefs of anarchists and he was a firm believer in their prin ciples. The prisoner also stated that he had received much information on the subject in the city of Cleveland. He said that he knew a man in Chi cago named Isaak. The Free Society was the name of the organ mentioned by the prisoner. " Said Rulers Should Die. "Did he ever say anything about his motives in committing the murder ? " asked the district attorney. "Yes , " was the reply. "He said that he went to the exposition grounds for the express purpose of murdering Pres ident McKinley. He knew he was aim ing at President McKinley when the fatal shots were fired. Czolgosz said tLat all kings , emperors and presidents should die. " Superintendent Bull was cross-exam ined by Lawyer Titus and said the defendant had on his person some memoranda and $1.51 in money. There was also , a piece of paper , orange-col ored , with an address upon it , a mem orandum book and a letter of identifi cation card from the Order of The Golden Eagle. "Did you ask him if he was an an archist ? " Judge Titus asked. "Yes. " "And he said he was ? " "Yes. " At the conclusion of Superintendent Bull's testimony , District Attorney Penny announced that the case for the prosecution was closed. Lctrls Gives Up Defense. Then Mr. Lewis arose slowly and , "addressing the court , said : "We are embarrassed by the sudden t closing of the case of the prosecution. We had not expected them to close so * t > abruptly. We have no witnesses to call for the defense , but I ask the court that my colleague and myself be al lowed to address the jury. " Permission was granted by the court and Judge Titus began his address at 2:45. "Gentlemen of the jury , " he began , "a calamity has fallen upon this na tion through the act of this man , but the question is whether his act was the act of an insane man. If an in sane man it is not murder and he should be acquitted of that charge. He would then , of course , be transferred to an asylum. "Much discussion has occurred in our midst and has been called to my attention as to the propriety of any defense being interposed in this case. Many letters have been received by me since I was assigned with my associate to defend this man , questioning the propriety of a defense being attempt ed. You , gentlemen , know , perhaps , how Judge Titus and myself came in to this case. The position was not sought by us , but we appear here in performance of a duty which we thought devolved upon us , notwith standing it was an exceedingly dis agreeable one. "Gentlemen , when they become members of the legal profession be come members of the court. They are compelled.if assigned.to defend a crim inal , or rather the one who is charged with a crime. They are compelled to respond and accept the duty , unless they can present some reasonable ex cuse , and if they refusa to perform that duty they are guilty of a mis demeanor and are liable to punishment by the court. "There are in our country individu als , not , I hope , in very large numbers , but we know they are scattered all over the country , who think in a case like this or even In charges of much less degree that'it is entirely proper that the case should be disposed of by lynch or mob law. We can hardly take up a paper without we learn that in some part of this free and inde pendent country some"man has been murdered on the suspicion or belief that he was gulity of some crime. This state of things does not exist in our community , but it does in some parts of our state , as every intelligent man knows. "Gentlemen of the jury , while I be lieve firmly fin that , I do not believe it creates a danger to this court equal to the belief , becoming so common , that men who are charged witn crime shall not be permitted to go through the form of a trial in a court of jus tice , but that lynch law shall take the place of the calm and dignified ad ministration of the law in our courts of justice. When that doctrine be comes sufficiently prevalent in this f JUDGE WHITE. country , if it ever does , our institu tions will be set aside and overthrown. Trial an Object Lesson. "This trial here is a great object les son to the world. Here is a case where a man has stricken down the beloved President of this country in broad day light , in the presence of thousands of spectators. If there was ever a case that would excite the anger , the wrath of those who saw it , this was one , and yet , under the advice of the President , 'Let no man hurt him , ' he was taken , confined in our prison , indicted , put upon trial here , and the case is soon to be submitted to you , as to whether lie Is guilty of the crime charged against him. That , gentlemen , speaks volumes in favor of the orderly con duct of the people of the city of Buf falo. "Here was a man occupying an ex- ilted position , a man of irreproacha ble character ; he was a man who had : ome here to assist us in promoting the prosperity of our great exposition , knd he was shot down while holding i reception. "His death has touched every heart n this community and In the whole vorld , and yet we sit here and quietly 5onsider whether the man was re- iponslble for the act he committed , rhat question is one you are called to leclde. " Judge Lewis was crying when he inished and the eyes of many of those n the courtroom were filled with tears. Judge Titus then arose and said that 'udge Lewis had so completely covered he ground that It seemed entirely un- tecessary for him to reiterate It and ie would therefore rest. . * ft * " District Attorney Sums Up. At 3:10 District Attorney Penney be gan summing up. He spoke in a clear , well-modulated voice and every word could be heard in any part of the room. . He said in part : "It Is hardly possible for any man to stand up and talk about this case without the deepest emotion. It was the most awful tragedy that ever came upon the world. We have shown you how this defendant stood in the temple of music that afternoon and shot down our beloved President. We have shown you how he deliberated on and planned this awful crime. We have shown you how he attended anarchistic and so cialistic meetings , at which were sown in his heart the seeds of his terrible act. "This is no time for oratorical dis play. Counsel for the prisoner and myself have endeavored to eliminate all sensationalism from this case. It is not my intention to Indulge in ex tended remarks. You understand the responsibility resting upon you. National Heart Is Broken. "It is a great lesson that so great a man can stoop so low ; that he was so great he could forgive his own as sassin. He was the noblest man , I believe , that God ever created. A man JUDGE TITUS. ( One of Counsel for Defense. ) who stood near him in the temple- music said to me : 'I have traveled in all parts of the world and have seen people assembled to greet their rulers , ' but when I saw pe'ople stand in the railroad stations and along the coun try through which the funeral train passed that they might get a look at the casket of this great man , I was convinced as never before that there is such a thing as a national heart. ' "That national heart was broken and it will take God's way and time to heal it. "It was broken by a class of people who are coming to our country in in creased numbers , and while harbored by our laws they are propagating their malicious views ; a class of people that must be taught that we have no place for them on our shores , a class of peo ple that must be taught that they can not take the life of anyoneirrespective of consequences. " Judge White's Charge. Justice Wmte Degan his charge to the jury at 3:29.o'clock. : He arose from his seat and stepped to the side of the bench nearest the jury box. He said : "Gentlemen of tae jury : In this : ase the defendant has acknowledged his guilt. Such an acknowledgment under such circumstances cannot go to the jury or the court. The law re- luires that the defendant charged with men a crime must be tried. The law ; ays that all the facts must be ob served and reviewed by you. The law guarantees that the defendant shall mve a fair trial by twelve men , im- jartial and fair , capable of taking the .estimony of the trial and giving it borough consideration. "If when all the circumstances of Lhe case are considered by you there still exists in your minds a reasonable loubt that the defendant is guilty you : annot find this man guilty. The pso- ? le have submitted evidence tending to ihow that this defendant committed : his crime ; they have given evidence .ending to show that there was design ind premeditation , and , if in accord- ince with that premeditation and de sign these shots were fired , then the lefendant is guilty of the crime of nurder in the first degree. ( "You must consider all this evidence , hat the people have submitted to you. fou must consider it fairly and with- mt prejudice. You are the sole judges > f facts in this case. " When the trial was ended and the erdict rendered , Judge Titus , at the equest of District Attorney Penney , 1 idmitted that the defense had 'no sug gestion to make as to the time when he final judgment should be pro- lounced. Justice White then said that .s it was the custom to give the guilty aurderer two days between the flnd- ng of the verdict and the sentence , lie rould adjourn court till 2 o'clock "hursday , when judgment will be pro- ounced. The prisoner was then handcuffed to is guards and led back through the annel to jail. Length of trial Eight hours and tvrenty-five minutes. Number of witnesses For the prosa- ation , seventeen ; for the defense , one. Actual time of takipg testimony our and one-quarter hours. Time of the state in arguing for con- Iction Fourteen minutes. Time occupied by the judge in larging jury Twelve minutes. Time occupied by the jury In deliber ation Thirty-four minutes. Emma Goldman Oat. Anarchy took Its high priestess from the prison to the hearthstone Tuesday morning at Chicago. With smiles and kind words for all Emma Goldman be came a free woman shortly after nine o'clock. Prosecutor John Owens said there had been an agreement with the attorneys for the defense that both sides would abide in the Goldman case by the decision in the cases of the men who were released yesterday. He therefore would state that he would interpose no objection to her release. "Dismissed for want of prosecution , " said Justice Prindiville. Then the woman with the stern blue eyes was taken through the crowd , and a few moments later escorted to a cab , which was driven to the home of the Isaaks. FORTPAGIFIC CABLE. Company to ay a Llno From California to Philippines. Articles of incorporation were filed at Albany having in view the laying of a cable from the Pacific coast to Ha waii and the Philippine islands. The company w-l be affiliated with the Commercial Cable company , and all its incorporators are officials of that cor poration. The length of the cable will be about 8,500 miles. The part first laid will be from California to the Ha waiian islands , a distance of about 2- 200 miles. It is expected tlict this por tion will be laid and in operation with in nine months. The time required for the laying of the remainder of the cable from ne Hawaiian islands to the Philippine islands will depend upon how quickly the cable can be manu factured , but may be completed in two years. According to the articles of in- corporaLon the company's lines are to begin in New York city , although from that point to the Pacific coast the line of other companies may be used. The capital stock of the company is to.be $100,000 , divided into shares of $100 ercu. The term of existence of the ccmpany is fixed at 1,000 years. Poisoned by Mosquito Bite. Mrs. Thomas Eaves , living at Fourth and Walnut streets , Gloucester , N. Y. , was bitten on a finger of her right hand several weeks ago by a mo squito. Her hand became swollen and she visited the Cooper Hospital , Cam- den , where physicians found it neces sary to amputate the finger. It is sup posed that the mosquito which bit her had been on some poisonous weed. THE SULTAN'S PALACE. It is Proof Against Assassins , Bombs and Fires. According to a writer in the World's Work , the sultan's Yildiz palace at Constantinople is a monument to fear. It is assassin-proof , bomb-proof , earth quake-proof , fire-proof , microbe-proof. Architects and engineers are building and rebuilding incessantly. Some new secret retreat is always under way. The entire domain is surrounded by an immense wall , thirty feet high , and the choicest troops of the empire stand guard arcund it. An inner wall , twelve feet thick , with gates of iron , incloses the private residence itself. The walls of the sultan's dwellings are filled 'with armor plate , to resist pro jectiles. It is said that a mysterious passage connects with ten secret bed chambers , forming an intricate laby rinth. No one but his body attendant knows where the sultan may sleep dur ing any particular night. He has elec- ; ric lights and telephones in his own ipartments , but forbids them in Con stantinople. Telephones might prove landy for conspirators and he be- ieves that a dynamite cartridge could je sent over a wire into the palace , le fears electric explosions , so Con stantinople gets along with'gas light. 3e hates the word dynamo , because it sounds like dynamite. Balloons art : abooed , lest one should pause over lim long enough to drop a chunk of xplosive. As to the real luxury of the Yildiz hat is a matter of course. The do- nain is a small world in itself. Five housand people live within the outer vail , not counting a small army of vorkmen and the 7,000 imperial juardsmen. There are shops , factor- es , arsenals , stables , a library , mu- ieum , picture gallery , theater and even L menagerie. The monarch loves trees tut he keeps their branches well lopped iff , so that he can see to the farthest : orner of his grounds. Chicago News. The Girl of Today. Little does the girl of the present ; ay realize how much better off she is ban the girl in the early part of the lineteenth century. Then she had to ubmit to social restrictions too nu- aerous to mention ; she was treated rith scorn and contempt if she once xpressed any desire to work or do nything for herself and attempts to dink out a subject for herself was eemed almost a sign of ill-breeding nd lack of refinement. Her life was pent in a narrow groove , and her lind was not allowed to develop .to : s full extent. Intercourse with the ther sex was carried on under the , [ gid surveillance of an austere and Iderly chaperon. Nowadays a woman as almost perfect freedom in what- vrer she cares to do. Chaperons are etting rarer and rarer , and social in- macy with men is allowed without ae thinking it means aught beyond pleasant and natural friendship. c 'ew York Weekly.

Latest Quotations From Sooth Omaha and Kansas City. SOUTH OMAHA. Cattle The receipts of cattle were not very heavy as compared with those oi the last several days. Packers seemed to have quite liberal orders , and as a re sult the market was active and fully steady on all desirable grades. The sup ply of cows and heifers seemed light after the big runs of the last few days , as there were only about thlrty-ftve cars on sale. Buyers took hold with considerable life and paid Just about steady prices for anything at all good. The medium grades were a little dull-as has-been the case alf the week , and on such kinds the market was barely steady. Bulls , calves and stags sold again today In just about the same notches they have for several days. Heavy feeders are still In good demand and steady prices were paid for all that were offered If the quality was satisfactory. Western range beef steers were rather scarce and the few that were offered sold at good , steady prices. Hogs There was a light run of hogs , but owing to the fact that Chicago and other markets were quoted lower prices at this point took a drop. Packers start ed In bidding o@T > &c lower , and the first hogs sold mostly at $6.72 % and $6.75. After the first round the feeling Improved a little and the market was not over 5c lower , with the long string going at $ G.7o. The choice loads soldrom $6.73 to $6.95 and the commoner grades went from $6.72 2 down. At those prices the hogs changed hands quite rapidly and It was not long before the bulk was dis posed of. Sheep The supply of sheep and lambs in sight this morning was fairly liberal for this time of the week. The demand , however , was apparently equal to the oc casion , as just about steady prices were paid for anything at all desirable. Trad- " Ing was fairly active In both sheep and lambs , and the bulk of the offerings was disposed of In good .season. Some of the coarse and common stuff was neglected by both packers 'and feeder buyers and was hard to dispose of , but aside from those the market was In good shape. The demand for both feeder sheep and lambs continues active and strong prices are being paid for desirable grades. , KANSAS CITY.
